Andrew: Leave her alone. I said leave her alone!Bender: You gonna make me?Andrew: Yeah.Bender: You and how many of your friends?Andrew: Just me, just you and me. Two hits. Me hitting you, you hitting the floor! Anytime you're ready, pal![John lightly pushes Andrew, but Andrew catches his hand and forces John to the ground.]Bender: I don't wanna get into to this with you, man.Andrew: (letting John go and rising up) Why not?Bender: (getting up as well) 'Cause I'd kill you. It's real simple. I'd kill you and your ****ing parents would sue me and it would be a big mess and I don't care enough about you to bother.Andrew: Chicken shit...[Bender takes out a switchblade and stabs it into a chair.]Andrew: Let's end this right now. You don't talk to her, you don't look at her [Meanwhile, Allison steals the switchblade.] and you don't even think about her! You understand me?Bender: I'm trying to help her.

I'm not a winner 'cause I wanna be a winner. I'm a winner 'cause I have strength and speed, kinda like a race horse. Shows you how involved I am in everything that's happening to me.Allison: Yeah? That's very...interesting. Now, why don't you tell me why you're really in here.Andrew: Forget it.
